Television Icons: Pepe Pimentel

Inquirer

Pepe Pimentel in his prime.

If you grew up in Quezon City in the 80s, you should be familiar with the first SM City ever – the one in North EDSA. If you’ve been there on a Sunday, at the food court, around noontime, then you would remember the show Kwarta o Kahon, a show that ran for more than twenty years.

I of course would always have fond memories of Tito Pepe Pimentel. The best would be the Yakult game, where contestants would spin a roulette and hope it stops on a letter they’ve chosen. Tito Pepe would sing along chanting the contestant’s letter. Hilarious.
